So i took my boat to the mechanic to get the problems looked at. Here are the problems the mechanic told me:
1 The steering cable is bad, and the steeringwheel keyway is broke.
2 The power tilt trim electrical stuff is fine so he needs to pull the engine off the boat so he can take apart the hydraulic tubes and what not.
3 The starter gear teeth are worn badly
Now Im a mechanic I went to college for auto tech I've turned wrenches on cars forever. BUT i know nothing about boats this is the first one I've ever had im wondering how much of this work I can do myself scale of 1 to 10 how hard are these? The starter looks like no prob but what about the rest? he's gonna charge a whole lot of money if I have it done. thanks josh
